Completely finished and Proud

Last night when I came back from work the first thing I did
was to go upstairs to my office and checked if my cardigan was dried! It was a
relieved to see that the yarn was obedient enough to stay blocked the way I
wanted. I was so worried that for some reason the back was going to be to
short, but fortunately was not the case.

I am very pleased with the results of this project. Now when
I look at it I think that it was so worth it to be knitting for almost a month,
(even my husband was tired of seeing me working on this project) of course
including all the fixing and frogging.

I am very pleased with the results of this cardigan, so I decided to go ahead and enter the cardigan to the Prince William County Fair Knitting Competition for the first time! We'll see what happens.

It was my first time knitting a cardigan in two separate
halves using fingering yarn. When I started I thought it was going to take forever,
but it wasn’t that bad. Great for a summer project since the yarn is light to
the touch.

Today I can say that I really like the feeling of a fingering
cardigan. I can’t wait to this fall to start using it!

I cannot wait to see what is next. Great job on the cardigan. I have not been knitting too much this summer, I have shawl in progress for my sisiter's birthday in December and a pair of boot socks for the winter, so not much hurry on either. Always happy to see when you put a post up Sabrina!
